Seeking info: SAYVILLE ELECTRIC COMPANY From 1900 to 1911, the Sayville Electric Company generated and supplied the frst electric power to Sayville and neighboring communities. The Sayville Electric Co. was the fore-runner of LILCO. The power plant of the Sayville Electric Co. (seen in the old photo) was located on East Street in Sayville just north of the LIRR tracks. The core of the building is still on that site today. Do any GAZETTE readers have any informa- tion, photographs or ephemera of the Sayville Electric Co.? The Sayville Historical Society and Mrs. C. Currie have already been most helpful. Please contact historian Erich Hae- sche if you can assist in this local research project (call 516-729-2044 or email erichh10@aol.com).

Recycling to Protect the Earth James Wilson Young Middle School’s Ecology Club has been learning various ways to reduce waste, protect the Earth and decrease their carbon footprint. To aid in this effort, this winter the club attended a workshop lecture with Town of Islip recy- cling educator Danielle Wynn and coordinated a recycling drive for used electronics. During the workshop, Ms. Wynn discussed which materials are eligible for recycling, several projects that can be done with recycled materials and showed the students how to make paper. During an upcoming meeting, the students will be putting the paper- making lessons Ms. Wynn shared into action. As part of the month-long drive, the club collected numerous used cell phones, cameras, iPods and other electronics. All donations were sent to a California company that either refurbishes the items or recycles the materials they are made of. This reduces the amount of materials in the waste stream, protects the groundwater from toxic chemicals that are in the phones, and reduces energy and pollution from mining of met- als needed in the construction of phones. James Wilson Young Middle School’s Ecology Club collected used electronics during their recycling drive.
